Zachary Foster, a historian of Palestine, joins the show to break down the last week of attacks in Amsterdam and debunk the widespread narrative in mainstream media of antisemitic “pogroms.”
Foster explains how the media twisted the unfolding events by omitting the anti-Muslim, anti-Arab violence and threats from Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans that instigated the clashes – provocations seen in widely-shared video online.
The media called the Amsterdam clashes “antisemitic riots,” ignoring the anti-Muslim, anti-Arab violence by Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, says@_ZachFoster
“There was a pogrom in Amsterdam—the media just mixed up who was the perpetrator and who was the victim.”
